Garth admitted she was stunned by her old friend’s dance-floor skills: “I knew that Ian had some moves but the things that he’s been learning to do are phenomenal, and his body’s in amazing shape. He’s just so happy. He loves it so much.”

It was a big night out for new mom Spelling, who confessed her trip to Dancing with the Stars was the first time she’d left her baby boy Liam at home since he was born in March.

She explained, “My friend Brandy is at home babysitting, and I’m really anxious because it’s my first time leaving him at home.

“But Ian‘s been like family to me. It’s really important that when any of us do something else, that we are there for each other.”
